BS PAS 223:2011 is applicable to all organizations, regardless of
size or complexities, that manufacture food packaging.
This PAS is not designed or intended for use in other
parts of the food chain.

Food packaging manufacturing organizations are
diverse in nature, and not all of the requirements
specified in this PAS apply to an individual
organization. Each organization is required to conduct
a documented food safety hazard and risk assessment
that includes each requirement. Where exclusions are
made or alternative measures are implemented, these
need to be justified by the food safety hazard and risk
assessment.

BS PAS 223:2011 is not a management system standard and is
intended to be used by food packaging manufacturing
organizations that wish to implement PRPs in such a
way as to address the requirements specified in BS EN
ISO 22000.

BS PAS 223:2011 is intended to be used in conjunction with
BS EN ISO 22000, not in isolation.
